Description
The rapid pace and technical complexity of AI development outstrip the capacity of democratic institutions to provide effective oversight, potentially undermining democratic governance of these influential technologies.
Rebuttals to Common Fallacies
- Technical complexity doesn't justify excluding democratic input; it increases the importance of developing accessible governance mechanisms.
- The solution isn't to slow innovation but to strengthen democratic institutions' capacity to engage with technical developments.
